- 2022 Volleyball Season Information
  
  Team registration is now open for the 2022 Diocesan Summer Volleyball League! All parishes are invited to join in the fun by forming a team of youth (current 7-12th graders) and competing with others from around the Diocese. Cost to sign up is $350/team. Deadline to sign up is May 20th.
